Solve -4(2x 1)=3(x-5)

Evaluate

- 4 (2 x \times 1) = 3 (x - 5)

Remove the parentheses

- 4 \times 2 x \times 1 = 3 (x - 5)

Multiply the terms

More Steps

- 8 x = 3 (x - 5)

Expand the expression

More Steps

- 8 x = 3 x - 15

Move the variable to the left side

- 8 x - 3 x = - 15

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 11 x = - 15

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

11 x = 15

Divide both sides

\frac{11 x}{11} = \frac{15}{11}

Solution

x = \frac{15}{11}

Alternative Form

x = 1. \dot{3} \dot{6}
